Retinol cream is like the cool kid of skincare. It’s the go-to for girls like me who could use a helping hand with fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and more. For a while now, I've thought of it as a solution for my face only, but you know what? The rest of my body has needs too. So when I discovered Kopari’s Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream, I was certainly intrigued. Could this rest-of-me-topical do wonders for all my neglected areas? I knew I had to give it a shot, and it’s been a love story ever since.
Oh Kopari’s Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream, how do I love thee, let me count thy ways:
1. It’s strong and gentle in all the right ways
Treating sun damage, smoothing crepey skin, and staving off fine lines is forever the goal, but not at the cost of exposing my delicate skin to harsh ingredients. Not an issue here! This Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream is vegan, it’s cruelty-free, and all their ingredients are ethically sourced. I love that I’ve never seen phthalates, sulfates, or parabens in any Kopari product.
Instead, it’s got all the good stuff—acai for softening and smoothing skin with omega fatty acids, pomegranate extracts for antioxidant love, encapsulated retinol, and aminobutyric acid to resurface and boost collagen. These high performance ingredients offer a gentle and prolonged release, so it’s consistently working for me - and I’m all about the long-term.
2. It’s been shockingly effective for me
The ingredients I listed above all add up to a gentle, silky formula that’s safe to use twice per day. When I massage these high-performance ingredients into my skin, my skin feels luscious and hydrated. I settled into using this cream morning and night thinking I’d maybe notice a difference in six months, but the magic happened way sooner than that! And those fine lines, signs of sun damage, and ::gasp:: crepey skin? Let’s just say they’re hardly on my mind anymore.
3. It’s actually affordable
Look, Kopari isn’t the only retinol cream out there. I’ve tried some trendy brands with jaw-dropping price tags thinking they’d be the best at what they do, but after the jar was empty, I couldn’t bring myself to make the investment again. And that’s just for my face - imagine lathering that from the neck down! At $42, Kopari’s Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream is an effective solution for the rest of me that needs tending to, and its push-pump packaging makes sure I never waste a drop.
4. This brand feels like a new bestie
It isn’t acknowledged enough when beauty or skincare brands are approachable and not intimidating. I love an elevated experience, but in real life I’m a casual lady and I appreciate when info is presented to me clearly and kindly. I love Kopari’s no-nonsense approach that tells me everything I need to know, including a full ingredient list, and what I can expect to gain.
More importantly, though, Kopari offers free and easy returns if anything doesn’t work out, and every order comes with free samples so you can get to know what else they have going on without having to take a chance on a full-size purchase.
All Kopari everything
Little by little, Kopari is feeling like all I need. I was already a fan of their deodorant, but now I am fully on board with their Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream. I’m a huge fan of their commitment to clean ingredients, and I love how well this cream is giving my skin that glowy smoothness. If you’re on the market for a new retinol cream (or even if you’re not), you should try it.
